Are any of you familiar with The Mortal Instruments? [View all]

My daughter loves books with magic and fantasy-tinged horror, so these seem like they'd be right up her alley, but I want to make sure they aren't Christian-themed. I'm not enthusiastic about the way evangelicals use YA literature to sneak Christian propaganda into stories of that sort and I'd like to assure myself that's not what these are before I buy the series.
